Back Cover Copy:
Word has it single mom, Violet Parker—Deadwood’s most notorious Realtor—likes to chitchat with ghosts. With her reputation endangered, her bank account on the verge of extinction, and her career threatening to go up in flames, Violet is desperate to make a sale. When the opportunity to sell another vintage home materializes, she grabs it, even though this “haunted” house was recently the stage for a two-act, murder-suicide tragedy. Ghost or no ghost, Violet knows this can’t be as bad as the last house of horrors she tried to sell, but charmingly irresistible psychic, Doc Nyce, has serious doubts. Her only hope of hanging on to her job is to prove that the so-called, ghostly sightings are merely the eccentric owner’s optical delusions. But someone—or something—in the house wants her stopped...dead.
